Language Plasticity Revealed By Electroencephalogram Mapping, Armando F. Rocha, Flávia B. Foz
Language Plasticity Revealed By Electroencephalogram Mapping, Armando F. Rocha, Flávia B. Foz
Armando F Rocha
Reasoning is the result of the computations made by intelligent systems, for instance those in the brain. It is not an abstract concept because calculations performed by computations are very concrete transactions among the different central processing unit components. Entropy measurements are proposed here to disclose the plasticity of the cerebral processing associated with language comprehension in video game playing. It is also assumed that entropy may be evaluated from the correlation coefficients obtained for the game event-related activity calculated for the different electroencephalogram derivations in the 10/20 system. The brain mapping derived from these entropy measurements clearly demonstrates the …
Just What Is Incidental, Integrated And Implicit About Grammar Instruction?, Arshad Abd Samad
Just What Is Incidental, Integrated And Implicit About Grammar Instruction?, Arshad Abd Samad
Arshad Abd Samad
This paper discusses popular notions of how grammar should be presented in the ESL classroom. Reference will especially be made to recent empirical and theoretical bases to grammar instruction which incorporate the role of various language sub-systems and acquisition processes. Drawing particularly on the findings of a study that examines the roles of meaning and structural aspects in processing language, this paper will make suggestions for grammar instruction in Malaysia.
Questionnaires In Dictionary Use Research: A Reexamination, Robert Lew
Questionnaires In Dictionary Use Research: A Reexamination, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
The present paper re-examines the usefulness of questionnaires in dictionary use research, using Glynn Hatherall's well-known criticism of questionnaires as a starting point. It is argued here that charges directed at questionnaires apply equally easily to the alternatives suggested by Hatherall. It is claimed that some research questions require a questionnaire approach. It is also demonstrated through example that unreliability of questionnaire-based studies may well result from design factors unrelated to questionnaires themselves. Use of multiple methods and careful design is advocated. Finally, suggestions are offered for improving questionnaire design in dictionary use research.
A Study In The Use Of Bilingual And Monolingual Dictionaries By Polish Learners Of English: A Preliminary Report, Robert Lew
Robert Lew
The paper presents a selection of results from a study investigating dictionary use by 712 Polish learners of English representing a variety of FL competence levels and backgrounds. Data from Learner Survey, experiment, and Teacher Survey are brought in to test hypotheses relating to a variety of aspects of dictionary use. Here two aspects have been selected for presentation. First, frequency with which learners seek different types of information in their dictionaries is analyzed. It is found that the need for meaning and equivalents dominates over non-semantic information at all levels but the highest. At the advanced level, interest in …
